We are very proud of our school and all of the opportunities that we give our pupils. We value all individuals, pupils and adults, and seek to ensure that everyone reaches their full potential, leaving them ready for the next stage in their learning journey.

We believe that we are an open and welcoming school and have excellent relationships with our parents. This is very important to us.

Our Year 6 pupils have worked really hard in preparation for their SATs next week. They have completed their final early morning booster session this morning and have begun their Ready2Rock sessions with Loz- perfect preparation for the week ahead.

A sunny but chilly day in the wood today; we started with a game of 'Hide the Child', where Team Perch comfortably defeated Team Fox thanks to the stillness and calm of Mr Murphin!

Some children then constructed a marble run while others cooked, acted, swung and looked for mini-beasts; the actors were passionate, the cooks tastetastic, the marbellers methodical and determined, the mini-beasters scientific and the swingers creative.

Keep learning your spellings to earn your spelling stars certificate for the summer term. I have attached the usual games and copies of our spelling lists to help you. I hope you have enjoyed your long weekend. You've earned it!

Each child chose 5 random things from within and around the classroom. We made a big pile with our objects outside, and then attempted to group/sort/classify them by observing their features - the children showed incredible communication, observation and reasoning skills and pretty quickly had our objects in linked, labelled groups.

We then applied these principles to a selection of animals back in the classroom - next week we will take a look at the established system for the classification of animals.

First up, thanks to parents for supporting children to bring in the necessary resources for their traps.

Today was one of my favourite out-door sessions ever...every child was 100% engaged in what they were doing, collaboration, creativity and determination were through the roof, and a full range of Forest School tools were being used safely and appropriately!

The traps were cunning, well thought out and constructed with care, precision and consideration; it was wonderful to see how the children exploited the goblins' weaknesses to their advantage.

Well done to our pupils for winning the Mathematics Star of the fortnight award. They have all worked hard both inside and outside of school and achieved great success in Mathematics. Also, a big congratulations to Nolan who always tries his hardest, gives his best and is such a positive and friendly member of our school, for this you won the Headteacher's Special Award.
